For many educational institutions tracking attendance can be a time consuming and tedious job. Typically, a lecturer takes attendance manually, by asking each student to state “here” when his or her name is called or by scanning the class room to determine which students are present. The teacher then writes the information down, and it is transmitted to the school or collage administration, often by hand. The administration calculates the attendance percentage of the student for a month or for certain number of days and send attendance percentage to there parent’s by post or some other basis. All this is time consuming process and had chances of human errors in taking attendance or calculating percentage.
This traditional method of tracking attendance suffers from number of drawbacks. The process is tedious, time consuming, and subject to human error.
Like all paper based recordkeeping systems, the system is vulnerable to lost or misfiled data. Additionally, traditional attendance tracking methods make difficult to prepare attendance reports required.
Therefore there is need for an automated attendance monitoring system that not only counts and identifies tags or cards as they enter or leave a classroom and that has the ability to prepare customized attendance reports for administration.
The main objective of this project is to provide attendance for employees or students entering in to the company or college by using RFID technology. In this system we are using PSOC microcontroller to which RFID Reader is interfaced via RS-232 serial communication. The entire system is placed at the entrance of the college or company, Which will record the time and attendance of a student using RFID card and data will be stored in a personal computing system. The LCD is also interfaced to microcontroller to display any message according to microcontroller operation.
Whenever the student enters the college, He will show the identity card to the rfid card reader, reader will send the student information to the embedded system, It will record the time and attendance of the student or employee.
